The food was very good. The service was even better. My only complaint is the volume of the music. It is too loud. But it won't stop me from coming back.

We were full from ordering two small combos for 4 people but not sure it was worth the high price. Some of the meats were great and others were soso. They grill for you but watch for the pork. The pork bone we were given to eat was still raw which unlike beef, is definitely a health hazard. Banchan is good but not auto refilled and you need to constantly ask for it.

Food was--as always--delicious and service was amazing. The little button you can press to call waitstaff is a genius upgrade to the dining experience because you no longer need to wave frantically to get someone's attention.

Nice BBQ place. I like how they have the exaust tubes all the way down to the grill so that you don't end up smelling like BBQ when you leave. The one drawback is their insistence that they grill all the food for you. It's distracting and you can't really carry on a converstion with them constantly interruptting to cook. Plus they also just want to cook everything all at once and ends up making us all feel rushed to eat everything before it either burns on the grill or gets cold on your plate.
